From the start, run down towards the bridge, then turn left just before the bridge. Continue until the junction with the A93 main road and turn left here. Run along the A93, passing the start on your left. Be careful in case there are any cycles exiting on to the road here. Turn left onto Rhu-na-haven road. This road has a sharp bend to the left, then another left turn at the end, which takes us back to the transition area. 

Leave the transition area and turn left. A few metres further there is a turn on to the busy A93 road. Obey the marshal and look out for traffic. Continue along the A93 until you are directed to cross the Dinnet bridge. Turn left after crossing the bridge, and cycle back to the Aboyne bridge. Turn left and cross the Aboyne bridge. Straight on here and back up to the school to begin the second lap. After the second lap, enter the transition area.
